Third party apps can not use android:persistent. Service.startForeground() is the formal way to say you can not be killed. This means the user must be aware that you are running (currently by posting a notification) so they can manage what is going on.
For the vast majority of NFC uses though I wouldn't think this is necessary -- if your service is going to run for a minute or so there should be no need to do this, except that it would force the system to keep your process around when getting very low on memory even if it normally wouldn't want to.
